Mentoring for Women: Maagalot

The Program

The Maagalot program is designed to help French-speaking women overcome the consequences of the Corona crisis, by enabling them to undertake a project and bounce back, uplifting their families and creating inspiration and a model for others.

It is based on a personal project, supported by mentoring and a circle of support and mutual aid.

In the context of the health crisis related to the Covid-19 pandemic, many households lost their jobs and saw their social and psychological balance disrupted. Their often precarious economic situation is likely to deteriorate much faster, and the lack of a sufficient safety net can quickly lead to disaster and destitution.

Due to the uninterrupted lockdown for a year, women are at home with their children; nevertheless, they demonstrate adaptability and resourcefulness, hence the idea to implement this specific program.
